## Choose when

### Choose litellm if…

- litellm is primarily Python; chatgpt-plugin-eval is HTML.
- Pricing: While the core functionality is provided free, specific extended features might require a paid plan..
- Requirements: Requires Docker.
- Tags unique to litellm: ai-gateway, azure-openai, bedrock, vertex-ai.
- litellm ships Docker support for self-hosted deployment.
- When you need to integrate multiple LLM (Language Learning Modelling) APIs into your application across different providers like Bedrock, Azure, OpenAI, VertexAI, Cohere, Anthropic, Sagemaker, Hugging

### Choose chatgpt-plugin-eval if…

- chatgpt-plugin-eval is primarily HTML; litellm is Python.
- Tags unique to chatgpt-plugin-eval: chatgpt, chatgpt-plugins, llm-platform, llm-platform-security.
- Also covers Evaluation & Observability.

## When NOT to use litellm

- If your project only requires interaction with a single LLM API and basic functionalities, litellm may be overkill.

## When NOT to use chatgpt-plugin-eval

- Last GitHub push was 712 days ago (dormant maintenance, Jul 29, 2024). Validate activity before betting a new project on chatgpt-plugin-eval.
- Evaluation & Observability: Defer heavyweight eval infra only until you have real traffic - never skip it once users depend on answers.
- Inference & Serving: Self-hosting rarely beats a hosted API on cost until you have steady, high-volume traffic.
- LLM Frameworks: Avoid a framework for a single prompt-and-retrieve call; the abstraction can cost more than it saves.
